I'm gonna be honest, I hadn't watched all of them until recently. I've seen bits and pieces here and there, but I had never seen all 6 movies with full attention.
Shut up man, a buddy and I are marathoning it this Friday! I know the story from various source, I know the world from video games, and I've seen the new movie so I'm not clueless or anything, but I've never had the chance to sit down and watch them.
just had a marathon with a few friends
we were 4 people, my friend had seen all of them like 8 times. i've seen them all when i was small, so i rewatched them to understand what the **** is going on in what order
and the other 2, were girls, didn't watch them yet. they didn't like IV, V, and VI. even though those were the best IMO
the scene where they left Tatooine, and Jabba the Hutt walks up and chats them up....
....
........that had to be new, right?
i grew up watching what i assumed to be the original Star Wars.......in fact........I don't think the box art even called it A New Hope it just said "Star Wars" on the front........although in the opening credits it did say the fuller vers-- well whatever i'm splitting hairs here
point is i recently (when Chris Lee died) rewatched the full series and, not being at home where i had the VCR copy, i just streamed one online and I couldn't for the life of me ever remember seeing that fat ******* worm there anytime ever before
so i'm pretty sure that scene with Jabba was edited into the re-made versions, but i'm not sure
....anyone have the origin of that? am i right or just crazy?
You're absolutely right. The scene with Jabba was added into Lucas's "remastered" editions of the original trilogy. Though the footage was shot (sans Jabba) during the filming of A New Hope, because of budget/time limitations Lucas decided to cut that scene in the original release. So people didn't actually know what Jabba looked like until Return of the Jedi came out. Because Marvel ran a Star Wars comic series in the meantime, they just had to guess at what Jabba looked like, resulting in the rather colorful character pictured here. Another (widely ridiculed) change that was made was editing the scene with Greedo so that Greedo took a shot at Han before Han blew him away.
Jabba was actually a fat man in a new hope, but because of the first film being such a success, George made Jabba into a slug because he could afford the cgi.
You're correct, Jabba was added in the first special edition, it used to be some fat guy in a brown vest, but Lucas decided to put jabba in their full on. You'll also notice that Jabba is CG, while the one in Episode VI is a puppet, this is because they tried to use the puppet in IV, but moving it was too difficult. Video is the original cut, with the fat guy.
Not really. We already know he's wanted. The scene actually makes less sense because Jabba just hired Greedo to take him in (presumably dead or alive, since in the new editions Greedo shoots first), but then Jabba is tooootally cool with letting Han just go off on his own again. He goes from wanting to murder him, to just letting him go after a little chat? Come on. The plot with Han was much more believable back when you never saw Jabba until Return of the Jedi, and assumed that Jabba was out to get Han non-stop during the whole trilogy.
Well, watched it today.
Havn't gotten it spoiled because i simply avoided comments 95% of the time and 100% every time star wars was even remotely mentioned.
My point being: VII is essentially IV in new fancy effects.

To those who are about to thumb this down for being a spoiler, if you got to the major plot twists without realizing it is a summary of the plot to its completion and should probably stop reading, then got mad, then there is no hope for you
